    Hi Gordon, I am more like the business side, but also interested in commercial law. So many universities this day offer LLM courses without pre-requirement for a law degree. I love to learn about the law, but I wonder whether this LLM degree will be worth it for people like me. What is your though on it?

    Hi, I was wondering how LLM exams work? The university pages confuse me. Are LLM exams in person or is it coursework and essay questions submitted online. I’m a final year student for LLB and my experience with that was all coursework online and few multiple choice quiz’s

    If you're from the UK, is it easy getting a corporate law job abroad if you have a law degree and LLM? or are they strict with it? I want to do corporate law but do not want to stay in the UK, would international law instead be the best option?

    Hi Gordon, brilliant video! Currently in my LLB I am averaging 65 and I'm in my final year. Would doing an International Business Law LLM in a prestigious University in Ireland be worth it if I applied for a job in a commercial law firm in the UK? I already have worked part-time in a small law firm here in Ireland if that helps.

    • @GordonChung
      @GordonChung  3 роки тому +2

      Hi, umm it's hard for me to make a decision based on that cos there is always a risk. But if you really like that degree and think the subjects you will study are exactly what you want to practice - then it could be helpful!

      Well I honestly can’t say for sure, but if you’re originally from a lower-ranking university, it might help - But you should ask around.

    Hi, I want to ask something about LLM-related matters, but I'm too shy to ask here. I messaged you on Instagram (followed you as well!). But if there's other means of contacting you, that would be great. Thank you! :) I love this video!!!
